Changting Ancient City Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Apr)
Hakka Capital
Fujian Longyan City, Changting County, "Beautiful Tingzhou, the Capital of Hakka". It seems like everywhere claims to be the capital of Hakka; it's like South Africa, which has three capitals.
During the Tang Dynasty, Fujian had five prefectures: Jianzhou, Fuzhou, Quanzhou, Zhangzhou, and Tingzhou, which is how Fujian got its name.
Changting is a national historical and cultural city, with the Southern Song Dynasty Wolong Academy (first four pictures), ancient city walls, etc. The last two pictures are of red cultural relics; Chairman Mao once stayed and drank well water here.

The Moments are blowing up! It's really in Fujian, in Changting, Longyan
Following the trend on Little Ctrip has been the most successful ever😍😍, and it turns out to be in Changting🤩🤩! International friend Louis Aly once said: 'There are two of the most beautiful towns in China, one is Fenghuang in Hunan, and the other is Changting in Fujian.' Changting today is truly breathtaking😍, and definitely worth a visit!!
⚠️However, be aware❗❗ Do not come to Changting during public holidays😭😭. Take my advice😣! During the holidays, Changting is not only crowded👨👩👧👦, but accommodation prices are outrageously high!! What usually costs 100 yuan could go up to 500-700 yuan😱.
Changting is small, and a two-day weekend trip is enough👒. Let me, a native of Changting, tell you how to play and eat here~🎉🎊. I've got all the strategies for food🥘, transportation🚌, accommodation🛏, and attractions✨!
- 🚇Transportation: Take the high-speed train to , and from there you can take a taxi🚕 or a bus to the city center, which takes about 10-15 minutes. If you're driving🚗, just head to the city center, find a place to park, and then you can walk around. The city center is small, taxis are hard to get during holidays, but there are many shared electric scooters🛵, which are very practical, and I recommend cycling.
- 🏠Accommodation: The county town is not big, and it's convenient to stay anywhere. As long as you are in the main urban area, a taxi ride to anywhere will basically cost you 10 yuan🤑. However, many homestays can't be reached directly by car, so I personally recommend staying in a hotel🏬.
- 🏞Attractions: Here are a few must-visit spots. ✅Jichuan Gate: Climb the city gate and take in the night view of Tingzhou🎇. ✅Dafudi: The number one carved building in Fujian, truly lives up to its reputation👍. ✅Tingzhou Baxi Hall: Showcases the eight great joys of Hakka life🎊. ✅Wolong Academy: Features Huizhou-style architecture donated by Jackie Chan, better to visit during the day🌞. ✅Diantou Street: A charming ancient street with lots of snacks and specialties🛍. ✅Sanyuan Pavilion-Museum-Tingzhou Examination Hall-Confucian Temple: All on one line, you can stroll along and check in📸. ✅Dingwuling: A Hakka mountain fortress, a village without mosquitoes for a thousand years🦟. ✅Qu'aoli Wharf: The Tingzhou wharf, with a southern charm.
- 🎫Tickets: Except for Dingwuling and Qu'aoli Wharf, other attractions do not require tickets. A combo ticket for four attractions is 88 yuan per person.
- 🍱Food: Hakka cuisine is endlessly delicious😋! Here are a few of my favorite Hakka restaurants and snack shops. ✅Xunwei Tingzhou, ✅Shengquan Snacks, ✅Chengqiang Fried Potato Cakes, ✅Xuancheng Boji Board, ✅Laoke Wei, ✅Baxi Courtyard, ✅Qixing Restaurant, ✅Axiu Clear Soup Noodles, ✅Old Store Dry Steamed Meat, ✅Qinhui Nan Food Restaurant...
- 🛣Itinerary: ✔Day 1: Arrive in Changting at noon→Have lunch on Shuidong Street→Visit attractions inside Taiping Bridge and Dongda Street in the afternoon→Jichuan Gate→Diantou Street→Sanyuan Pavilion→Wolong Academy→Diantou Street for dinner→Stroll again at night to enjoy the night view🌃. ✔Day 2: Take a taxi to Dingwuling or Qu'aoli Wharf, return to the county town for lunch, and buy some Changting specialties like dried tofu in the afternoon🎁.
⚠️Friendly Reminder: Do not drive yourself to Changting during holidays, park your car at the hotel, and then use shared bicycles for transportation🚲.

Longyan's most beautiful snow scenery is here!! No counter-arguments accepted!!
Ahhh!!!
I was deceived by Changting's snow scenery!! How can it be so beautiful!!
I heard this is the heaviest snow Changting has had in over a decade.
The snow in the ancient city area melted by noon.
I only arrived in the afternoon and went straight to Dingwuling.
Friends who want to see the snow, hurry up

This is Changting, known as the 'Little Western Region'! Having witnessed the ingeniously crafted ancient city walls and the historic city towers with my own eyes, it's just incredibly antique! 🏰⏳
Everyone, when the night falls and the city lights come on, the hustle and bustle of the city disappears, replaced by the strong flavor of street life, and I feel like I've stepped into a modern version of the 'Along the River During the Qingming Festival'! It's poetic, as if I've traveled through time to the prosperous Tang Dynasty! 🏮🌆
The winding alleys are warm and inviting, look at those lanterns and dragon lights, so dazzling, and with the sound of gongs and drums filling the air, the dancing dragons and lions almost took me into the lively Lantern Festival of the Republic of China! 🐲🦁️

Dragons parade, the Spring Festival is coming! A snowfall brings endless surprises to the south. Live broadcast·watching the snow, maybe no need to envy 'Erbin' anymore. Hold up an oil-paper umbrella, appreciate flowers in the snow, and let your dreams fly in the snow!

Come to Changting to tour the red ancient city, staying in a homestay is more grounded!
San Ting Jing·Hakka Tulou Homestay San Ting Jing Homestay is located on Xianqian Street. It is a mid-to-high-end homestay with the theme of Tulou. It is located at the central point of the main channel of 'Shop Street' and 'Wolong Academy'. It is transformed from three old wooden houses from the Ming and Qing Dynasties, named 'San Ting Jing' because there are three patio halls. The homestay retains the original ancient architectural style and incorporates the design of modern hotels. The guest rooms and reception halls are in completely independent buildings. Although they are unremarkable outside, the interior design is quite stylish. The reception hall on the street has a public self-service kitchen, self-service barbecue stove, self-service tea tasting area and local specialty sales area. The guest rooms are in the two buildings at the back, very quiet, the rooms are not big, but they are well laid out, with good lighting and bright and warm lights. The hygiene is in place, and the linen is also very good to use. It is rare to have a bathtub, which is a bonus in the cold winter! Public laundry room and drying room, it's too friendly for self-driving people. On the second floor of the guest room, there is an independent outdoor public activity space, which is very suitable for basking in the sun, reading, listening to songs, or chatting with a few friends. The shopkeeper has also planted a lot of succulents, which are thriving! It is said that if the weather is good, you can see the stars all over the sky at night.
Because parking in the ancient city is inconvenient, you can only park at the nearby Tingzhou Hospital, which is also convenient for a five-minute walk. The shopkeeper is nice to pay for the parking fee.
You can go to Wolong Academy, Changting County Shop Street, Jichuan Gate, Changting County Museum in ten minutes on foot, and it is very convenient for eating and touring. Riding a shared electric bike is also very convenient, without having to worry about parking.
Breakfast randomly ate a dustpan at Zhuotian Restaurant, paired with a bowl of boiled pig kidney soup, unexpectedly delicious! 👍
Xia Wufu's snacks are the best afternoon tea! The soy milk egg tart is very tender, fragrant but not sweet; the freshly baked mung bean cake has a particularly crispy skin.
Hakka dishes are similar, and there are many restaurants on Shop Street, all of which operate local dishes. We tasted salt wine chicken and pearl balls at Hakka Yipin. Salt wine chicken is different from Guangdong Hakka's chicken wine. It is boiled with white-cut chicken. Wine is just a seasoning, and it is put less, which is salty and not suitable for direct drinking. Pearl balls are potato starch balls, soft and chewy, can be used as a staple food, and the portion is very sufficient.
Two days and one night's itinerary is not rushed, understand Changting's Hakka culture, accept the baptism of red history, taste Hakka food, isn't it fun! 😁😁😁

Exploring Changting: The Beauty of a Small Town 🌟🏞
Awoo! Heard you want to know the most authentic way to enjoy Changting? You've come to the right place, sit tight, let me enlighten you! 🔍
🚫 Holiday Warning! 😭😭
⚠ Brothers and sisters, don't come to Changting during holidays! Overpriced accommodations, crowded as can be, you're better off lying at home watching American TV series. Accommodation that costs a hundred on a regular day can skyrocket to five to seven hundred during holidays, don't let yourself be at a loss. Changting is small anyway, a weekend of two days and one night is enough. Listen to me, a native of Changting, on how to eat and play, and catch everything in one go! Food, transportation, accommodation, attractions, all sorted out!
🚗 Transportation Tips
- Direct high-speed trains to , take a taxi or bus to the city center after getting off, 10-15 minutes and you're done! 🚖
- If you're driving, don't be shy, drive to the city center, find a place to park, and then just wander around~ 🚙

🚗Transportation
Take a bullet train to 【Changting South Station】, after coming out from the station, you can take a taxi (use online car-hailing services like Didi), and you can arrive at Changting Ancient City in about 15 minutes.
🏠Accommodation
I chose the nearby Osmanthus🌳⬇️Inn as my accommodation, which is affordable and the hotel management staff is very friendly. However, the quilt has some peculiar smell, and the decoration is not very new, the overall experience is average. In addition, many homestays will provide scenic spot joint tickets, and this inn also provides it!
